Wasn't sure, but I thought I should be clear just in case. (After all, I'm pretty sure I'd remember saying something along those lines.)

I'm laughing at the crazy predictions our self-proclaimed resident biz expert here on Blues made about how 3D TV-viewing would soon be ubiquitous. Of course, like Michael Pachter, being wrong doesn't serve as much of a deterrent.

Don't recall ever thinking 3D would become ubiquitous... at best, I've thought that 3D-capable TVs might become ubiquitous, but that's simply an analog of the display panels getting higher refresh rates and not demand for the feature.

Anything with glasses is a pain in the ass. Any screen which causes (extra) eye strain is a pain in the ass. Until they work out those kinks and make it as cost affordable as a 2D set I'm fine with it staying niche.

The problem is 3D has been around for many decades. We still have to wear lame glasses today!

We're a lot closer now, glasses-free 3D sets exist but still have their own issues like cost and viewing angle. It'll happen.
